Ive seen the Idea pop up a few times, and think it would be neat for jumpbots to fill a unique mobility style with their whole factory

Issue being the balance side of things, a jumping firewalker is hard to catch, a jumping placeholder or puppy could be really scary.

1. You can only jump when your weapon is reloaded, and your weapon must reload after jumping

The reload time could be shorter or longer than the normal reload time, to balance the jumps offensive and defensive use, while keeping out of combat utility in line with other jumps.

drawback of this methode, is that jumps are rarely available in combat, due to constant firing, and coordinating a grouped jump is very hard without holding fire on all units

Akin to a self disarm, the time needed before firing after jumping can vary from unit to unit

The advantage of this methode is that jumps are always available (provided jumpjets are charged), meaning you can easily coordinate grouped defensive and utility jumps, but offensive jumps are discouraged/can be reacted too.

Drawback
is
that
jumpbots
become
very
hard
to
catch
out,
though
this
could
be
adjusted
with
relatively
long
jump
windup
